When you got them removed did you get plastic fillings instead? I have two Amalgam fillings that I'd like to get removed. I had one plastic filling that needed replacing a few months ago and my dentist popped it out and then put some gel stuff from a tube on the tooth and put that laser gun on it and I was done. Do you know what that was? Does anyone know where braces fit in here? Do they have mercury in them also? I don't have braces now but I did back in highschool.
